Basic Geometry: Definitions, Examples,

and Problem Scenarios


What is Geometry?
Geometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the shapes, sizes, and
properties of figures and spaces. It includes points, lines, angles, surfaces, and
solids. Geometry is used in everyday life, such as in architecture, engineering,
art, and nature.

Basic Geometry Terms and Definitions


- **Point**: A location in space with no size or shape.
- **Line**: A straight path extending in both directions with no end.
- **Line Segment**: A part of a line with two endpoints.
- **Angle**: Formed by two rays with a common endpoint (measured in degrees).
- **Triangle**: A 3-sided polygon with angles that add up to 180°.
- **Rectangle**: A 4-sided polygon with opposite sides equal and all angles 90°.
- **Circle**: A set of points in a plane that are the same distance from a center
point.
- **Perimeter**: The total length around a shape.
- **Area**: The surface space inside a shape.
- **Volume**: The space a 3D object occupies.

Geometry Scenarios and Examples

Example 1: Area of a Rectangle


📌 Problem:
What is the area of a rectangle with length 8 cm and width 5 cm?

✅ Solution:
Area = length × width = 8 × 5 = 40 cm²

🧠 Explanation:
To find the area, multiply the two sides of the rectangle. The result tells you how
much surface the shape covers.
Example 2: Perimeter of a Square
📌 Problem:
What is the perimeter of a square with side length 6 cm?

✅ Solution:
Perimeter = 4 × side = 4 × 6 = 24 cm

🧠 Explanation:
A square has four equal sides. Multiply one side by 4 to get the total length
around the square.

Example 3: Area of a Triangle


📌 Problem:
Find the area of a triangle with base 10 cm and height 6 cm.

✅ Solution:
Area = 1/2 × base × height = 1/2 × 10 × 6 = 30 cm²

🧠 Explanation:
A triangle's area is calculated by taking half the product of its base and height.

Example 4: Circumference of a Circle


📌 Problem:
Find the circumference of a circle with radius 7 cm. Use π ≈ 3.14.

✅ Solution:
Circumference = 2πr = 2 × 3.14 × 7 = 43.96 cm

🧠 Explanation:
Circumference is the distance around the circle. Multiply the radius by 2π to get
it.

Example 5: Volume of a Cube


📌 Problem:
What is the volume of a cube with side length 4 cm?

✅ Solution:
Volume = side³ = 4 × 4 × 4 = 64 cm³

🧠 Explanation:
A cube has all equal sides. To get the volume, raise the side to the power of 3.
